SAVE THE DATE: THE VILLEFRANCHE SUR MER NIGHT-TIME URBAN TRAIL RUN IS BACK!
The must-see sporting event of the end of the year is fast approaching: the Trail de la Mounta Cala returns to Villefranche-sur-Mer for an edition full of slopes, descents... and celebrations! On Saturday 20 December 2025 from 5pm, the town will be lit up to welcome this night-time urban race in a magical setting, between the sea and the cobbled streets.
Three formats, for all audiences:
- A 5 km walk starting at 5 p.m., open to all, to enjoy the scenery and winter atmosphere.
- An adult race of approximately 10 km at 6 p.m., through the illuminated streets of Villefranche, accessible to different profiles (cadets, juniors, seniors, veterans).
- A free children's race for 3-15 year olds, with adapted routes.
The race will start from the Pont Levis de la Citadelle, then descend and climb (Mounta Cala) through the streets, quays and Promenade des Marinières.
The night race will be festive, with a Christmas atmosphere guaranteed with lights, DJs and food stands...
Some practical information to help you prepare:
- Remember to bring a headlamp or suitable lighting: this is a night race.
- Registration is required: there is a fee for the adult race (around €20).
As a runner looking to improve, even walking or a more relaxed format can be great, fun training towards the end of the season.
The setting: Villefranche-sur-Mer, with its quays, narrow streets and bay... a significant visual bonus, even if the clock isn't the main objective.
In short: go there to run, walk or simply enjoy a wonderful sporting event with family or friends. We'll definitely be there!
